Little Holiday in Charmouth -✨Little Angel came too ! 💛

 

So we've had a nice little holibobs in both Somerset and Dorset, mainly to go dinosaur hunting in Charmouth which is in Dorset .

                   

We stayed in a sweet little 18th century period cottage in Somerset ; which meant a very long drive to the beach , but husband decided it was reasonably priced and that it would be very well worth it .

We visited Montecute House , Bridport , Lyme Regis , Glastonbury , Burton Bradstock and Groves Nursery and of course Charmouth beach . 

Because of the rainy weather and the country roads being unfamiliar to us , we always tried to get back to the cottage well before dark .

Then we would have our teatime in front of the woodburning stove , with cups of tea , sandwiches and cake .

Then I would leave him in the lounge watching his American football 🙄

I would go into the cosy and warm , little dining room , where I really enjoyed sitting at this lovely Georgian table sketching and doing my embroidery .

  I had brought lots of things to do .... no internet, no radio , just the sound of the rain on the window .

These colourful embroidery doodlings are from a Hildegard von Bingen project I am doing .

Whoever would have thought such bright colours and patterns could be from the 12th century illustrations/artwork !

I love them very much  . 

                                                      💛💚❤️      💛💚❤️                                           

                                     Naturally , my angel came too !

                                   I wanted to finish the background .

                 I soon finished the background and decided to outline her angel wings .

 I think it looks better now . I'm just going to do a little more work on her angel gown .

✨I do love embroidering Angels ✨💛✨ I was delighted to find this little Angel hanging up almost hidden behind the curtains in my bedroom !✨✨✨

 

I have been planning to start a Perpetual Botanical Watercolour Journal .

I have the journal , the paints the brushes and everything all ready to go at home but I just can't seem to get started . 

  I want to record the Snowdrops , the Mistletoe , the sweet lambs in the meadows and a tiny first Ladybird of the year .

 I will try again when we get home .

                    I did manage to sketch and embroider this Snowdrop .
